The manager enters a critical meeting with chairman Daniel Levy today with his future on the line.

The Telegraph says Redknapp is understood to be open to the idea of going, if a compensation package can be agreed, and has been considering lucrative offers from clubs in the Middle East, including Abu Dhabi and Dubai.

Redknapp has previously considered offers from the same area of the world and is aware that his next major deal is likely to be the last he will secure in football as a manager.
